Precautions for Proper Use  
of this Product  
Precautions for Handling Hard Disk Drive  
The distance between the head and the disk is only about  
0.02 μ m when the hard disk (henceforth HDD) is reading  
the data. Vibration or impact that is exerted on the HDD  
may therefore cause the head to hit against the disk,  
hence causing the disk surface to dent or the disk to chip.  
When this occurs, data may not be properly read, or in a  
worse scenario, continued use in this condition may result  
in head crash (damage). Careful attention must therefore  
be paid when handling it.  
Locations of Storage and Use  
Do not place this product at the following locations.  
Doing so may cause this product to malfunction or break  
down.  
Precautions During Installation and Change of Installation  
Hot or cold places beyond the allowable operating  
temperature range (5 to 40  
Humid places beyond the allowable operating humidity  
range (30%RH to 80%RH) (no condensation)  
Places that emit a strong magnetic field, such as near  
transformers and motors  
Location  
I
I)  
Moving of this unit or installation work is strictly prohibited  
when the power of this unit is on or immediately after the  
power is turned off (approximately 1 minute). The HDD  
continues to move under its own inertia for some time  
after the power is disconnected, and exertion of vibration  
or impact during this interval may result in HDD failure.  
When moving this unit, wrap it using cushioning materials  
to protect it from external shock.  
Places near devices that emit radio waves, such as  
transceivers and mobile phones  
Places with considerable dust and sand  
Places with strong vibrations  
Places where water droplets may be formed, such as  
window sides  
Handling Precautions  
Handle this unit carefully without exerting vibration or  
impact on it.  
Places with considerable vapor and oil, such as kitchens  
Places that emit radiation, X-rays, and corrosive gases  
Do not remove the power plug during recording or  
playback, or when the HDD is being accessed.  
The HDD is a consumable product. Although it may vary  
according to the environment of use, it is recommended to  
replace the HDD after using for 18,000 hours in a

surrounding temperature of 25I. (However, this is only a  
reference time and not a quaranty for HDD life span. ) For  
inquiries on maintenance plans and expenses, consult  
your nearest JVC dealers.  
Handling Precautions  
Do not stack the devices on one another during use.  
When installing an external hard disk, we recommend the  
use of UPS (uninterruptible power supply) to ensure the  
stable operation of the system. [Connecting a UPS]  
Heat and noise from the devices may cause the unit to  
malfunction or break down, and lead to fire.  
Do not block the ventilation holes.  
Power failure that occurs during formatting or  
disconnection of the HDD may affect its subsequent use  
even when the UPS is connected.  
Doing so may cause heat to trap inside the unit and result  
in fire. Do not use this unit by laying it down sideways,  
upside down, or at an angle.  
JVC shall not be held responsible for the compensation of  
losses incurred in the event that recording or playback  
fails due to defects in this unit or its hard disk drive.  
Do not place objects on this unit.  
Placing heavy objects, such as TV monitors, or objects  
that are bigger in size on this unit may cause it to lose  
balance and drop or fall, hence resulting in injuries.  
Images recorded on the HDD will be deleted when you  
replace it with a new disk. Note also that recorded images  
may be deleted when you upgrade the software for this  
unit.  
Do not stand or sit on this unit.  
Doing so may cause this unit to fall or break down, and  
result in injuries. Keep it out of the reach of young  
children.

Note :  
Performance Meter  
Do not connect LAN1 to the internet. If the internet is busy or the  
relay equipment fails, you may not be able to save important  
camera images. To maintain full recording capacity, it is  
recommended that a dedicated network be used. Be sure to  
connect the LAN1 camera network to the same segment. (Do  
not use the address translation of NAT and NAPT etc. or a  
router.)  
This unit comes with a performance meter, which allows you to  
check its load on the meter.  
At high operating loads, the system may not be able to record at the  
preset frame rate or operate normally.  
If you connect LAN2 to the internet from a surveillance  
computer, you will need to configure IP Masquerading.  
Communication between LAN1 and LAN2 is not possible. Nor is  
it possible to configure a camera connected to LAN1 from the  
surveillance computer connected to LAN2. In order to configure  
a camera connected to LAN1, it is necessary to connect the  
computer for configuring cameras to LAN1.  
1 Press and hold the [FUNCTION] button, and  
press the [1/ ] keypad button at the same time  
The performance meter appears on the screen.  
LAN1 and LAN2 are incompatible with QoS. Sound may not be  
played normally depending on the condition of the circuit.  
The default LAN1 IP address is 192.168.0.253 and the default  
LAN2 IP address is 192.168.1.253. To change the address, use  
Yellow  
Green  
Red  
In VR-N900U, analog input circuitry is considered as a network  
encoder (IP video server) and the IP address is set to  
192.168.201.12 by default. When altering the IP address of  
LAN1 and LAN2, specify an address (different segment) other  
than 192.168.201.0 to 192.168.201.255. Also make sure that the  
same segment is not specified for LAN1 and LAN2. (VR-N900U)  
When a single network camera is registered with multiple units  
of VR-N1600U/VR-N1600E/VR-N900U, recording may not be  
properly completed in some cases. Camera control (e.g. PTZ  
control) may also become unstable. It is recommended that a  
single VR-N1600U/VR-N1600E/VR-N900U be used for  
registering one IP camera as well as for controlling PTZ  
operations.

required port numbers. You may need to specify a different port  
if the device is located behind a NAT router or firewall. In this  
case, configure the router or firewall so that it maps the ports  
and IP address used by the device.  
To specify settings on camera connection, you first need to add the  
required devices, such as network cameras or network encoders  
(IP video servers), to the system. Devices have their own IP  
addresses and host names. The system identifies the devices  
based on their IP address or host name.

To view the list of cameras connected to the device, click  
the plus (+) sign to the left of the device name.  
In addition to the network camera and network encoder (IP video  
server), you can also add a number of dedicated I/O (input/  
output) devices to the system. You can configure and use the  
event settings for the I/O devices in the same way as cameras.  
When a device is added to the system, it is listed on the [Camera  
Recording Administator] screen. To add a new device, follow the  
procedure below. Firstly, configure the IP address and password  
of the device according to instructions in the camera manual.  
You cannot add a camera for which there is user access  
restriction. For details on access restrictions, refer to the  
camera’s “Instruction Manual”.  
Memo :  
The camera names are set as [Camera1], [Camera2],  
[Camera3], [Camera4], …etc. by default. To change the name of  
a camera, select the device and click the camera name.  
The camera number increases in sequence as new cameras are  
added.  
Registration of the cameras can also be performed  
automatically. (  
If the camera is registered with the user access restriction set to  
ON, the camera is registered with access restriction and unable  
to display live images unless the settings are changed.

Defining Motion Detection Exclusion  
Regions  
You can specify specific areas to be excluded from motion detection  
to prevent the detection of irrelevant motion, such as trees swaying  
in the wind or cars that drive past continuously in the background.  
Note :  
Note that when motion detection is set at short intervals, the  
number of alarms may increase and a longer search time may  
be required during playback.  
When a camera is connected, flickers such as those of a  
fluorescent light may cause a false motion detection. In this  
case, set the camera to flickerless.  
Noises in the camera image may also trigger a false detection.  
Set the camera to prevent false detection even when the ACG  
function is enabled, such as during nighttime.

Specifying Motion Detection  
Motion detection enables you to specify the timing to transfer  
images from the camera, generate alerts, and trigger external  
outputs (lights or sirens).  
Note :  
This feature is essential to the system’s operation. In order to  
avoid unnecessary alerts during application, it is recommended  
that you specify the settings for each camera carefully.  
Depending on the physical location where the camera is  
installed, it may be necessary to perform tests and adjustments  
of the settings under different conditions (time of the day,  
weather such as windiness, etc.).  
1 Select a camera from [Device Manager] on the  
[Camera Recording Administator] screen, and  
click the [Motion Detection..] button in  
[Settings...] to open [Adjust Motion Detection]  
2 Specify [Noise Sensitivity] and [Motion  
Sensitivity]  
The [Noise Sensitivity] slider is used to determine the level  
of change in the image pixel that is to be recognized as  
motion. The AHighB setting recognizes minute changes in  
the pixel as motion. Areas in the image that have changed  
when compared with the previous image are highlighted  
(default color is green).  
[Adjust Motion Detection] Screen  
Memo :  
The [Motion Sensitivity] slider is used to determine the number  
of pixels for which a change is to be recognized as motion. When  
the slider is moved from side to side, the black vertical line at the  
bottom of the screen moves together, and the boundary (Motion  
Sensitivity) is adjusted. When detected motion exceeds the  
selected sensitivity level, the bar changes from green to red,  
indicating a positive detection.
